He would have been out of chances a long time ago if he hadn't had some well-timed 12-4 and 13-3 seasons, but it's really hard to fire a guy after that kind of year, and then it's also hard to fire him when YOU LOSE YOUR STARTING QB for the whole year.

That being said I think a backslide season without some sort of pretty significant valid excuse (like Prescott going down for the year in week 2), will end up costing him his job.

On the other hand, if we go 10-6, he's probably not getting fired.

Do we really have "superior talent"? I mean, for one, you and I would both agree that Prescott has a lot of room to grow. The WRs suck. The defense, before this year, has been atrociously average or worse.

Our talent probably falls mostly in line with the other teams that are averaging 9-10 wins a year over the past 4 years.

The two losses in the divisional round to Aaron Rodgers sting and he has to get over that hump at some point.

I'm not convinced we have superior talent this year generally; I was referring to the 2014 & 2016 seasons really. We do have superior talent in a few places even this year though. Particularly at RB, LB, and O-line.

I agree with you, in that I don't think Garrett is out of chances this season unless he wins less than 8 or 9 games. But unless we make a deep playoff run he should be.

Rodgers didn't make the super bowl either of those years so he's great of course but he's certainly beatable.

I am not yet freaking out. I think they will come to their senses after making a "statement" in preseason.

I hope that's the case. Honestly, I don't think the refs are sure of what to look for. It looks like they are guessing on a lot of these and simply throwing the flag to cover their ass for when they're graded.

This is nothing more than another subjective penalty heaped upon a sport whose rule book already has entirely too many subjective penalties.

During one play last night it looked like all 7 officials huddled up for about a minute to discuss whether or not a leading with the helmet violation had occurred.

IMO, they shouldn't throw the flag unless it's obvious. If you have to debate it among your peers then pick up the damn flag.
